Change in AAFP Candidates' Hospitality Event

Adopt

RESOLVED that the American Academy of Family Physicians Congress of Delegates adopt the following rules with respect to the “Candidates’ Hospitality” event for those seeking higher AAFP office:

Hold the "Meet the Candidates" session with Delegates and Alternates only the night before Congress is convened; eliminate the “Delegates’ and Alternates’ Reception” which has followed the “Meet the Candidates” session;
Combine the Sunday “Delegates' and Alternates' Reception” with the “Candidates’ Hospitality” event held in one large ballroom on the first night of Congress, open to all comers, with chapters grouped by candidate type and placement made by drawing numbers from a hat;
Commit AAFP to a minimum contribution of $10,000 to the joint reception. Each chapter with a candidate shall contribute $2,500 to include funding for food and beverage, exhibit tables, pipe and drape, signage for the room, but exclusive of individual exhibit space decorations, electrical connections, easels, chapter giveaways (which are at the expense of each chapter) or other such fees that are imposed by the hotel or its vendors at the chapters’ request. AAFP staff will be responsible for selection of food and beverage based on the budget available. Chapters will submit order forms to AAFP staff who will work with the hotel; all cost information will be provided to chapters in advance of ordering; and
Keep the hours of the “Candidates’ Hospitality” the same (7pm-10pm).
